Blaming The System

As a government employee and GSIS member, I'm really irked at how inefficient and screwed up the institution is. Due to circumstances that cannot be attributed to its members, loans are no longer available, premium payments previously made can't be reconciled, and retirees are having the most terrible time trying to process their benefits. What's worse is that GSIS won't even accept the error of their ways. Instead of trying to find a solution (if that's even possible); they blame the system -- IBM in particular.

Lousy!

Don't blame the system for your inadequacies! How do you expect people to believe that a well-known multinational computer giant like IBM could provide an absolutely defective system that would fry all of GSIS's records? I think it's much easier to believe that something fishy went on, especially if one would look into the lifestyles and assets of GSIS's executives. *cough* winston *cough*

Yes, system failures happen all the time: in corporations, telecoms, even UPD's own "CRS". But for it to mess up so bad that even after several months of trying to "fix" the system, still very few records have been reconciled, is an outrage! I am not a computer geek; but I do know that systems are built to have recovery programs or quick-fix, troubleshooting mechanisms. I refuse to believe that IBM could be at fault.

And so, to the people at GSIS, especially the old ones who (most probably) have a hand in creating this sh*thole we are in right now: please clean up your act. Don't let thousands of people suffer because of your incompetence, or utter lack of conscience. You may be enjoying life now, but people have souls which can burn in hell...
